On Saturday I went to Munich for the day.
I decided that before I go on any extended trip,
it would be wise to learn the train station and see what it’s all about.
In other words-
baby steps.
I arrived in Munich at 9am.
I had no map,
no travel book,
nothing.
All I knew was that I was at the central train station for the Bavarian capital.
So, first things first,
buy a Germany travel book in English.
Why I did not do this before I got to Germany is a mystery.
I asked how to get to Marienplatz- the old town square,
and, to my relief, it was just an easy 15 minute walk.
In case you didn’t know,
I don’t understand subways and big cities scare me.
Put me in a foreign country where the main language isn’t English and it’s guaranteed that I will get lost,
almost instantly.
Thankfully, that was not the case today.
I found where I wanted to go,
and didn’t get lost once.
I did not wander far from the Old Square.
I live so close to Munich,
and so I decided to save other sights for a different day.
I enjoyed sights of the Neues Rathaus,
joined the crowd at noon to watch the Glockenspiel,
and climbed to the top of St. Peterskirche for stunning views of Munich.
I am so thankful that this city is only an hour train ride from the little village I call home.
oh gosh. I am the exact same way with subways and big cities (well, except NYC, when I FINALLY figured it out after living there for an entire summer). I am so bad I could get lost trying to find the bathroom in my own home.
but anyway. Munich. It looks so beautiful. I've never been to that part of Germany unfortunately 🙁
Love Munich. Next time you go, you must get a beer at the Hofbrauhaus. We ALWAYS get lost in Munich. The streets are a mess, so be glad you walked rather than drove. LOL These pics are amazing. I didn't know you could get a view like that! That is my favorite city.
Wow, so incredible! Your pictures are great and I can't imagine trying to get around in a big city in a different country. I can't wait to get the chance to go to Europe someday and I love reading about all of your adventures! I am glad you are adjusting well! Does the family you are with speak English well?
I think you are one of the bravest people EVER! I think what you're doing is amazing! And I am so glad that I get to follow your journey on your blog. Munich looks beautiful, hopefully one day I'll be able to visit too! 🙂
I love these photos!! They are beautiful!! I am new to your blog and I'm so glad I found it! I invite you to check mine out! I hope you have a great week! =)
